The Riddle of Steel

Hey folks,

I skipped the newsletter last month, mainly because I didn’t have much to report other than “still working on Diner Punks.”

News & Updates

  • I was really looking forward to getting Diner Punks out this year, but I’ve had to admit it’s not going to happen. It’s been a while since I’ve written a game this large, and I forgot about their tendency to keep growing, so I’ve recalibrated for a 2027 release. The longer version is here if you’re interested.

  • Printify (or more likely, their AI) decided to delete about half of the products I had for sale in my Etsy shop. After their shitty “customer service” chatbot proved useless (it was nearly 2 weeks before a human responded), I took down the whole shop and moved to a new printer. I’ve gotten a few items back up for sale, but haven’t had time to restore everything (given the typical monthly sales, it’s just not a high priority).

  • When I need a break from Diner Punks, I’ve been working on the Q3E rules for The City of Ten Thousand Daggers and plan to get back to work on the website reorganization soon. If you haven’t already, sign up for a free World Anvil account and click the follow button at the bottom of the page to get updates when I start making changes.
